Characterizing microbial communities in specimens is one of the main goals of microbiome research. The 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is approximately 1.5 kb in length and contains several conserved and highly variable regions (V1-V9) that vary between bacteria. These highly variable sequences can be used to identify and characterize microbial diversity. Therefore, the 16S rRNA gene is... https://www.cd-genomics.com/longseq/resource-full-length-16s-sequencing.html
